A Summer of Alumni Baseball Adventures
The University of Scranton’s Alumni Baseball Outings have become a seasonal tradition that blends nostalgia with the excitement of Major League Baseball. Each August and September, groups of alumni travel across the United States to attend high‑profile games, turning the ballparks into gathering places for the Royal community.
Kicking off on August 27, the first outing pairs the Houston Astros against the New York Yankees at the historic Yankee Stadium. Fans will watch a classic rivalry unfold while sharing memories of campus days and forging new connections among fellow graduates.
A week later, on September 1, the schedule moves to Fenway Park in Boston, where the Seattle Mariners take on the Boston Red Sox. The iconic green monster provides a backdrop for alumni to cheer, reminisce, and celebrate the spirit of the game together.
The third event, slated for September 16 at Citi Field in New York City, features the Baltimore Orioles versus the New York Mets. The stadium’s modern amenities and electric atmosphere promise another memorable experience for the traveling alumni crowd.
Closing the series on September 24, the outings arrive at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, where the Milwaukee Brewers face the Philadelphia Phillies. The final game caps off a summer of camaraderie, offering a fitting finale under the Philadelphia skyline.
Connecting Alumni Through America’s Pastime
Beyond the thrill of the game, these outings serve a deeper purpose: strengthening the bonds among Scranton alumni and showcasing the Royal identity on a national stage. By attending games at storied venues, participants not only enjoy top‑level baseball but also represent their alma mater in a unique, shared experience.
The University of Scranton, through its alumni office, coordinates logistics, ticket arrangements, and travel plans, ensuring a seamless experience for all involved. The initiative highlights the university’s commitment to fostering lifelong connections beyond the campus gates.
